Izzy the Iguanodon

Izzy the Iguanodon is a representative of a group of herbivorous dinosaurs that lived around 125 to 130 million years ago. Known for her large, bulky body and thumb spikes used for defense, she was an upper Jurassic to early Cretaceous dinosaur. Iguanodons had strong legs for walking and could move efficiently on land, while their thumb spikes helped protect against predators. They also had beak-like mouths to grasp plants. Izzy's fossils provide important insights into herbivorous dinosaur behavior, anatomy, and evolution during a time when dinosaurs thrived across various terrestrial environments.
